Making Money on the Horses - A Humorous Take on Gambling and Horse Racing from the 20th Century This delightful comic postcard, titled
EDITORS COMMENTS
Making Money on the Horses," is a charming and humorous depiction of the excitement and anticipation surrounding horse racing and gambling. The scene shows a group of men, each with varying degrees of enthusiasm and determination, gathered around a horse race track. One man, dressed in a sharp suit and holding a top hat, confidently places a large bet with a bookmaker, while another man, with a bucket and shovel in hand, collects manure from the track, presumably for a different type of profit. The humor in this postcard lies in the contrast between the different approaches to making money at the races. The dapper gentleman, with a smug expression on his face, is clearly hoping to strike it rich by backing the winning horse, while the man with the shovel is collecting manure, perhaps to sell as fertilizer or use for other purposes. The other men in the scene are shown in various stages of excitement and disappointment, adding to the overall sense of fun and energy. This postcard is a wonderful example of the light-hearted and humorous approach to life that was popular in Britain during the 20th century. It is also a reminder of the enduring appeal of horse racing and gambling, activities that continue to captivate and entertain people around the world. Whether you're a fan of the horses, a collector of vintage postcards, or simply looking for a bit of fun and humor, this charming comic postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face."
